시장 적시성과 서비스의 품질을 만족하기 위해 웹 서비스는 서비스를 재사용하여 애플리케이션을 구성한다. 그리고 동적 진화(evolution)는 소프트웨어에 유연성을 제공하고, 계속 변경되어 예측하기 어려운 비즈니스 요구사항에 애플리케이션이 적응할 수 있도록 해준다. OWL 기반의 OWL-S(Web Ontology Language for Services)는 서비스를 기술하기 위한 온톨로지 언어이다. OWL-S의 의미적인 정보는 자동화된 시맨틱 웹 서비스의 발견과 호출, 서비스 조합을 위해 사용될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 시맨틱 웹 서비스를 이용한 웹 애플리케이션의 동적 진화를 지원하는 프레임워크를 제안한다. 그리고 프로토타입을 통해 제안한 프레임워크의 타당성을 보인다.

As adopting ubiquitous technology into civil engineering, new city model is suggested called U-City. This paper proposes the framework of U-City management center to support effective services operation. The aims of the framework are to provide the development and operation environment for U-City services. Basically, these objectives are achieved by adopting the semantic web service technology to the framework. In this paper, OWL-S is mainly conducted to represent the description of U-City services. In addition, this paper insists that fine grained unit services are required to guarantee reusability, compatibility, and scalability of the services on U-City management center. The documentations conducted by OWL-S are provided as an example of service descriptions. At the last section, this paper also presents the architecture of U-City management center which enables automatic service discovery, selection, composition and interoperation.

The technology of Semantic Web realizes the base technology for context-awareness that creates new services by dynamically and flexibly combining various resources (people, concepts, etc). According to the realization of ubiquitous computing technology, many researchers are currently working for the embodiment of web service. However, most studies of them bring about the only predefined results those are limited to the initial description by service designer. In this paper, we propose a new service supporting model to provide an automatic method for plan related tasks which achieve goal state from initial state. The inputs on an planner are intial and goal descriptions which are mapped to the current situation and to the user request respectively. The idea of the method is to infer context from world model by DL-based ontology reasoning using OWL domain ontology. The context guide services to be loaded into planner. Then, the planner searches and plans at least one service to satisfy the goal state from initial state. This is STRIPS-style backward planner, and combine OWL-S services based on AI planning theory that enabling reduced search scope of huge web-service space. Also, when feasible service do not find using pattern matching, we give user alternative services through DL-based semantic searching. The experimental result demonstrates a new possibility for realizing dynamic service modeler, compared to OWLS-XPlan, which has been known as an effective application for service composition.

The Web Services descriptions such as DAML-S/OWL-S, BPEL4WS and WSMF focusing on the functional aspects of Web Services have limitations for the representation of the conceptual and semantic capabilities of Web Services, although WSMF is based on ontology and can represent the goal of Web Services. This paper proposes the new description formalism based on the competence ontology that can represent both functional and semantic aspects of Web Services. This paper also presents the integration and the composition of Web Services by means of Data Mediator(D-Mediator) and Control Mediator(C-Mediator) to mediate compositional in compatibility between heterogeneous Web Services.

One important issue to generalize the ubiquitous paradigm is the development of user-centralized and intelligent ubiquitous computing systems. Sharing knowledge and correct communication between users and devices are needed to be aware of continuous changed context information and infer services for which users are suited. The goal of this paper is to describe and manage effectively the meaning of services or data which each device offers for interaction between users and devices based on semantic relationships and reasoning. In this paper, we represent semantic data using OWL and design a ubiquitous based intelligent system. We propose some index structures and strategies to process queries classified by each subsystem and adopt labeling schemes to identify classes and resources in the semantic data. We can find devices which satisfies various user's requests exactly and quickly using the proposed strategies.

Recently, there are many researches to realize context-awareness service that recognizes surrounding environments as context and provide the citizens with pervasive convenience based on ubiquitous computing technology. In the u-City, various sensors collect information as context, and citizens will receive various context-awareness service, making use of their wireless and mobile devices and the infrastructures of the u-City. We designed ontology that is useful to structure information of sensor or device that is linked to networks and use OWL (Web Ontology Language) that can express information of mutual relation and partial situation. And we propose a context-aware reasoning system for personalized u-City services based on collected context information and user's intention.

Context-aware technologies for ubiquitous computing are necessary to study the representation of gathered context-information appropriately, the understanding of user's intention using context-information, and the offer of pertinent services for users. In this paper, we propose the WS-CAM(Web Services based Context-Aware Middleware) framework for context-aware computing. WS-CAM provides ample power of expression and inference mechanisms to various context-information using an ontology-based context model. We also consider that WS-CAM is the middleware-independent structure to adopt web services with characteristic of loosely coupling as a matter of communication of context-information. In this paper, we describe a scenario for lecture services based on the ubiquitous computing e e e e e e to verify the utilization of WS-CAM We also show an example of middleware-independent system expansion to display the merits of web-based services. WS-CAM for lecture services represented context-information itodomaits as OWL-based ontology model effectively, and we confirmed the information is inferred to high level context-information by user-defined rules. We also confirmed the context-information is transferred to application services middleware-independently using various web methods provided by web services.

As the web service technology matures. research is focused on the composite web services that combine individual web services within an enterprise or between enterprises. Quality of service is the critical competitiveness factor in this mature technology stage where there are many services with similar functionalities differing only in some non-functional properties. Monitoring is the key component for the service quality management of a web service. A service quality monitoring system design using a broker is presented in this paper. OWL-S is used to specify the composite service process and a service policy (inputs and outputs of each service, quality attributes and values, etc.) built by WS-Policy is applied to the composite service process. If there is any discrepancy between the service policy and the monitored data, the service provider and the user are notified of it so as to take necessary measures. We have implemented a travel reservation system as an example of the presented design and the experimental results are shown. Average response time was monitored and the timeout policy was applied in the experiment.

그동안 planning 분야에서는 action 또는 plan이 epistemically feasible한지에 대한 Knowledge Preconditions(KP) 문제(1)를 다루기 위해 여러 연구들이 제안되었다. 하지만 기존 연구에서는 feasibility에 대한 검사를 design-time에만 수행하며 run-time에서 수행하지 않기 때문에 여러 agent의 트랜잭션들이 발생하는 웹서비스 조합(WSC : Web Services Composition)에서는 문제가 발생하게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이 문제(Interfering Agent Problem)를 해결하기 위해 transactionally feasible한 WSC를 정의하고 WSC의 atomicity를 보장하기 위한 방법을 제안한다. 뿐만 아니라 WSC를 표현하기 위해 Description Logics기반의 TL-ALCF(2)를 적용하여 시맨틱 웹의 온톨로지(OWL-S)와 성능이 좋은 기존 subsumption 프로시저를 그대로 이용할 수 있도록 한다.

최근의 웹 서비스 기술은 주문을 받아서 만드는 클라이언트 애플리케이션을 위한 서비스 수단을 제공하기 위해 기능이 향상된 솔루션으로 개발되고 있다. 특히 웹 서비스는 현재의 웹 포털 사이트보다 서버들로 융통성 있는 접근을 제공한다. 즉 웹 서비스를 사용하는 것은 클라이언트 애플리케이션이 인터넷을 단순하게 표시하는 기능만을 하는 것이 아니라 시스템간의 정보 교환을 자동화함으로써 프로세스의 성능을 향상시키는 것이다. 이 논문에서는 웹 서비스 기반 eCard 메일 전송 시스템을 기술하고, 시맨틱 웹 서비스 언어를 이용하여 eCard 웹 서비스를 표현하는 것에 대해 기술한다.
